Playing as Warwick
Tips to maximize your impact
- Hold your bite
Hold Jaws of the Beast (Q) to latch onto your target: you follow all their movement, dashes included, then leap behind them.
- Tank, then fear
Cast Primal Howl (E) in the middle of the fight: you take less damage, then the howl fears nearby enemies. Recast it to fear sooner.
- Leap onto their carry
Cast Infinite Duress (R) on their carry: you suppress the first champion hit and heal for all the damage dealt. Your move speed lengthens the leap.
- Follow the trail of the wounded
Follow the Blood Hunt (W) trails: you sense champions below 50% health and gain speed toward them, three times more below 25%.
Playing against Ornn
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
- Stay away from walls and his pillar
Don't stand near a wall or the Volcanic Rupture (Q) pillar: if he slams into it with Searing Charge (E), enemies around him take a knock-up.
- Get out of his breath
Get out of Bellows Breath (W) before the final burst of flame: it makes you brittle, and his CC then lasts 30% longer on you.
- Keep him in combat in lane
Hit him regularly in lane: while he's being attacked, he can't forge his items on the spot with Living Forge (passive).
- Dodge the redirected elemental
When he recasts Call of the Forge God (R), get out of the elemental's line: redirected, it knocks the first champion it hits into the air, then the next ones.
